Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are a type of dental restoration that are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are made from a mixture of plastic and glass, which is then bonded to your tooth to restore its shape and function.
The advantages of composite fillings are numerous. First and foremost, they provide a more natural appearance compared to traditional metal fillings. With composite fillings, you can smile with confidence knowing that your dental work blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth. This is particularly beneficial for teeth that are visible when you smile or speak.
Another advantage of composite fillings is that they are durable and long-lasting. With proper care, they can last for several years, and in some cases, up to a decade. This is due to the high-quality composite resin material used, which is designed to withstand the pressure and wear of everyday use.
Additionally, composite fillings are a more conservative option compared to other dental restorations, such as dental crowns or veneers. With a crown or veneer, more of your natural tooth structure needs to be removed to make room for the restoration. However, with composite fillings, only the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth needs to be removed, leaving more of your natural tooth intact.
At our practice, we specialize in providing high-quality composite fillings that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our experienced dental team will carefully examine your teeth and recommend the best treatment option for you. We use the latest techniques and technology to ensure that your fillings are placed correctly and comfortably.

Toothache can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include biting into something hard, flossing, getting something stuck in between the teeth or braces. In children, it's a regular part of the developmental process.
Root canal treatment is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth which is intended to result in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.
The length of the dental implant process depends on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the condition of the patient's teeth and gums, and the patient's overall health. Typically, the process takes several months, but our dentist can give you a more accurate timeline based on your individual needs.
Bleeding gums can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include flossing, teeth brushing, chewing tobacco or cuts/abrasions from foods.
After you undergo a tooth extraction, you will need to replace the missing tooth or teeth. If the teeth are not replaced, the bones in your mouth can weaken and lose density. Other teeth also might shift, and you might experience trouble eating.
Not necessarily. While the extraction may hurt if you are under the effects of nitrous oxide, you should not be in excruciating pain. For more serious extractions, you will need stronger painkillers such as oral sedatives or anesthesia.
Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.
The good news is that you can get your teeth straightened no matter your age. Braces aren't just for kids. Even adults aged 50 and over can benefit from treatment by an orthodontist.
A root canal can prevent infection and ensure the developing permanent teeth stay healthy. Unless the tooth would have fallen out on its own in the near future, a root canal on a baby tooth might be indicated instead of an extraction.
Dental implants may provide a preferable comfort level and better chewing than dentures.
However, dental implants are much more effective than bridges in the long run and are also better in terms of oral health. The fact that they usually last longer than bridges accounts for the high cost that is generally associated with implant surgery.
